Yes and yes. Obama ran on a public option and no individual mandate. Clinton ran on no public option and an individual mandate. The Heritage Foundation plan was still to the left of what Clinton ran on.
We got what Clinton wanted, but the voters wanted what Obama was selling. Even though it turned out to be a bill of goods.
I remember the 08 campaign. Her cronies also made a huge stink about flag pins, started the "Obama isn't a citizen" rumors that Trump would run with later, and once she had lost the nomination because the party didn't successfully quash her opposition for her, her supporters started a PAC to get McCain/Palin elected because Clinton's cult would rather have Palin as VP than have a black man be president.
Clinton's VP pick of Tim Kaine in 2016 was an additional "fuck you" to everyone to her left. I get that you're trying to pretend that Clinton is someone that the left should be happy with, but Clinton is centrist at best. She's a corporate owned neoliberal from the "triangulate between the meekest Democrat and the vilest republican" Third Way James Carville wing of the party.
Yes, she is absolutely a centrist.
Hillary Clinton is an avid follower of the Iron Law of Institutions
